How to Change a Canon Pixma MP160 from Color to Black-and-White for Printing

The Canon Pixma MP160 requires Canon FINE ink cartridges for the best printing results. If your color cartridge runs out, or you want to preserve the color ink, you can configure the printer to a black-and-white print cycle. Black-and-white printing requires plain paper and will disable the borderless printing feature. The black-and-white printing setting will remain active until you manually return it to color printing using the same procedure.
